    So realistic it's almost a professional tool more than a game. Still the best realistic racing experience out there.
  2. iRacing is one of the best racing games you can experience online: deep like no one else and full of contents, it will make every pro driver happy. It's not for anyone but it's still worth a try.

    An impressive game, but not one that will be to everyone's tastes, especially not those after a quick thrill. [Sept 2010, p.88]
  4. iRacing is a very tough simulation and can only be recommended to gamers immune to frustration. Only real motoring fans should pay a monthly fee and even more for additional packs. The graphics give the impression of an unfinished beta, but at least the atmosphere between the players is always friendly.

    the most serious recreation of motorsport you'll find.
    the sim boasts the most accurate circuits we've ever seen on PC - the proprietary laser scanning system does an incredible job, and you'll discover bumps and undulations that simply aren't there in sims using handcrafted tracks.

    By far, the best racing simulator I've ever "played". Not only the physics, car response and tracks are brilliantly simulated, but everythingBy far, the best racing simulator I've ever "played". Not only the physics, car response and tracks are brilliantly simulated, but everything that involves competition (points system, race splitting, safety rating...) really works, and make you feel close to real live racing.

    It costs quite a lot of money (note I'm not saying expensive) but it is worth it. They are improving it all the time, and all those laser scanned car&tracks, and physics must be payed somehow. They are trying to make money as any other company, of course, but I feel part of my money is used to make the thing get better. Anyway, a lower subscription fee would be great.

    There are some good promotions for new people, and if you like racing, you should definitely give it a chance.

    The game is out dated graphically and is missing many features that most modern sims have like dynamic weather, dynamic road and day to nigh transition. FFB is decent tho the physics in some cars are quit questionable.

They promised cleanDriving physics were quite horrible in 2013 when my membership started, like ice skating simulator. Far from reality! They promised clean racing, it was not true. I was on road racing level 3 ( or was it C?) when I finally got it, better stop wasting money on this crap. I've had o lot more fun with Project cars, Forza, Assetto Corsa and RRRE. From which came to my mind that Iracing does not even have AI. It is totally overrated boring wreckfest and too expensive. Expand

    The game is already overpriced and

    The game is already overpriced and when Steam makes a discount iRacing didn't accept it!
